I've tried recording with that mini microphone off and yep, there's some noise caused by the onboard audio. I guess it's time to buy an external mixer. Regarding the 302USB and the phantom power supply issue, would using the current phantom power supply instead work? Like this setup: Computer-->USB-...

I really hope you can help me. I did recode an really important conversation. It was recorded for 40 minutes. But then it stopped, because there was not enough space on my hard disk to store the item. I did make space on my hard disk. ...

I've tried using the microphone input as well and I'm getting much louder record volumes but the noise is still as bad. By "as bad" I assume you relative the program. (ie after you've turned the input gain down to compensate for the higher level). Not terribly surprising. I would bet that...

Thanks for taking time to explain in such detail. I've tried using the microphone input as well and I'm getting much louder record volumes but the noise is still as bad. To make sure that it's the sound card giving me problems, I've tried using another microphone which is small enough to fit inside ...

Yes the big connectors with three pins in a triangle are known as XLR connectors. (There are also 4, 5, 6 & 7 pin versions of XLR connectors, they look the same just more pins). They are pretty much the standard for professional audio connections. If you are in fact using the "line in"...
